QUESTIONING OF FACT WITNESSES IN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

ABOUT FIAA

FIAA – Foundation for International Arbitration Advocacy is dedicated to providing advocacy training specifically designed for international arbitration.

Advocacy in the context of international arbitration presents unique challenges. These challenges begin with drafting the request for arbitration and continue through to enforcement of the final award.

Through a series of different learning-by-doing programs and workshops, FIAA offers skills training for international arbitration practitioners in witness questioning, oral argument and written advocacy. FIAA also provides a forum for arbitrators, counsel and academics to analyze, develop and promote effective and ethical dispute resolution skills for international arbitration.

For more information about FIAA and its programs, visit our website at: www.fiaa.com

FIAA’S NOVEMBER 2015 ADVOCACY WORKSHOP

FIAA’s November 2015 Advocacy Workshop will focus on one key aspect of advocacy in international arbitration – the questioning of fact witnesses.

This learning-by-doing workshop will provide international arbitration practitioners with the fundamentals of examining and cross-examining fact witnesses based on a mock arbitration case.

Participants will engage in exercises and simulations, see demonstrations and hear presentations by experienced international arbitration practitioners and advocacy instructors. Throughout the workshop, participants will receive faculty feedback on live and recorded performances.

On the final day of the workshop, participants will act as counsel in mock hearings with opening statements, examinations-in-chief, cross-examinations and closing arguments before arbitral tribunals comprised of experienced international arbitration practitioners.

The workshop is strictly limited to 24 participants in order to ensure an effective learning environment and that each participant has ample opportunity to develop his or her advocacy skills.

FIAA’s November 2015 Advocacy Workshop will open at 12:00 noon on Thursday, 19 November 2015 and will conclude with a celebratory Closing Dinner on the evening of Saturday, 21 November 2015.

Prior to the workshop, registered participants will receive a detailed workshop programme, together with the mock arbitration case file and reference materials.

Our testifying experts have significant experience in delivering clear and concise opinion evidence in arbitral and judicial hearings. We have extensive industry experience in Oil and Gas, Electric Power, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Telecommunications, Media and Entertainment, Transportation, Financial Services, Transfer Pricing, Intellectual Property and Mining/Extractive Industries.

The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) has developed into one of the world’s leading forums for dispute resolution. The SCC was established in 1917 and is part of, but independent from, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. The SCC consists of a Board and a Secretariat and provides efficient dispute resolution services for both Swedish and international parties. The high number of international cases - nearly 50% - clearly evidence the strong position of the SCC as a preferred venue for dispute resolution among the international business community. Every year parties from as many as 30-40 countries use the services of the SCC. Sweden and the SCC also play a unique role in the international system developed for bilateral and multilateral investment protection worldwide. In at least 120 of the current bilateral investment treaties (BITs) Sweden or the SCC is cited as the forum for resolving disputes between investors and the state. Today, the SCC is the world’s second largest institution for investment disputes. For more information visit: http://www.sccinstitute.com/

The SAA arranges conferences and seminars, training for arbitrators and is involved in publication projects. For more information visit: http://swedisharbitration.se/
